I think this might be true. Traditions are generally not questioned and as such, things like racism are left for what they are. I don't really get why I should not be allowed to make fun of stereotypes of other "races". I mean, everybody is free to make fun of my stereotypes, why shouldn't I have the same freedom? About the Hollywood test: I can't ask actual black people since I don't know any. Most of those live in the west, not the south. I might try asking some passersby tomorrow to get a more complete view. I am now really curious as to what the opinion of non-native Dutch is.It's an interesting problem: I think all cultures are blind to racism when that racism is deeply rooted in tradition. I suspect one reason we tolerate more racism and inappropriate behavior from the elderly is that they are walking examples of tradition.
